The visit is being made at the invitation of Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techno Hun Sen.

He was warmly welcomed at the airport by Cambodian Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Ngo Anh Dung and Vietnamese nationals in the country.

Dung cut the ribbons for the inauguration of the new Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia and met with representatives of Vietnamese nationals in the country.

He praised the efforts of embassy staff that have contributed to the traditional friendship and comprehensive co-operation between Viet Nam and Cambodia.

Dung also hailed contributions made by Vietnamese businesses in Cambodia to the development of the bilateral ties, particularly in the fields of aviation, banking, telecommunications and rubber.

He noted that the businesses should complete legal procedures and abide by Cambodia's laws and traditions.

Dung stressed that the Party and State considered Vietnamese nationals living abroad as an indispensable part of Viet Nam who helped boost friendship and co-operation between Viet Nam and other countries.

He urged the embassy to work with local authorities to create conditions for Vietnamese nationals to work and live in Cambodia.
